Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is a real gem! The rooms have concrete floors but with very cozy beds, and some even come with a lovely terrace. The air conditioning was a bit hit or miss during my stay, though. The service was top-notch, except for the rude manager encounter I had. The location couldn't be better, being pretty much on the seafront and just a stone's throw away from the beautiful Karon beach. In terms of dining, I savored some delicious fresh omelettes and salads nearby. The facilities were great overall, despite a small glitch here and there.
I couldn't have asked for a better location with the hotel right across the beach and just a short walk to some great dining spots. The rooms were comfortable, but the air conditioning needed improvement. The service received was mixed – friendly staff but a bit lacking in other areas. Overall, a decent stay with room for some enhancements.
This hotel is such a gem! The location is perfect, just by the beach and near various dining options. The rooms are cozy and with a jacuzzi, but there was an issue with the air conditioning. The service is good overall, but we encountered a rude manager during our stay. The place is right on the seafront, allowing for stunning sunset views. It's a great spot, although it was a bit late for us to catch our flight. The nearby food options were excellent, especially with fresh omelettes available. Facilities at the hotel were top-notch.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The Lanna style rooms with a jacuzzi behind its own gates were a luxurious touch, but the extra £120 charge was a bit steep. The service was excellent despite encountering a rude manager. The beachfront location was perfect, although being very close to the beach had its drawbacks. The dining experience with fresh omelettes was a highlight, but the Italian strata could have been better. The facilities were top-notch providing a great overall stay.
I had an amazing time at this hotel, with the rooms featuring a jacuzzi and a breathtaking view. However, the air conditioning was not working properly. The service was top-notch, despite a bit of a hiccup with a rude manager. The location was unbeatable, right on the seafront, but a bit far back for some activities. I enjoyed the dining with great nearby food options, even though fries were the only highlight. The facilities were lovely, although the jacuzzi on the balcony stole the show.
